Understanding Your Results

The test result will be interpreted by a clinical geneticist. A positive result indicates a pathogenic variant in the FGFR1 gene, confirming the diagnosis of Kallmann Syndrome Type 2. A negative result does not completely rule out the condition, as other genes may be involved.
📊

Positive

Pathogenic variant detected. Confirms diagnosis. Genetic counseling recommended for family planning.

📊

Negative

No pathogenic variant found in FGFR1. Consider testing other genes or alternative diagnoses.

📊

Variant of Uncertain Significance (VUS)

A genetic variant was found but its clinical significance is unclear. Further family studies may be needed.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

Consult a geneticist or endocrinologist if you or your child have symptoms such as delayed puberty, anosmia, or infertility. Early diagnosis can help manage the condition and improve quality of life.

Limitations

  • This test only analyzes the FGFR1 gene; mutations in other genes causing Kallmann syndrome may not be detected.
  • Variant interpretation may be limited by current scientific knowledge.
  • Regulatory region variants may not be detected by standard NGS.
  • Test does not assess non-genetic causes of hypogonadotropic hypogonadism.

Risks & Considerations

  • Minimal risk of bruising or infection at the blood draw site
  • Psychological impact of receiving genetic results
  • Potential for uncertain results (VUS)

Interfering Factors

  • Contaminated or degraded DNA sample
  • Incomplete clinical information
  • Presence of maternal cell contamination in prenatal samples
  • Rare variants of uncertain significance may require further analysis

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Kallmann Syndrome Type 2?
Kallmann Syndrome Type 2 is a rare genetic disorder characterized by delayed or absent puberty and an impaired sense of smell (anosmia). It is caused by mutations in the FGFR1 gene.
What is the cost of the FGFR1 gene NGS genetic test?
The cost is INR 20,000 at DNA Labs India, which includes the NGS analysis of the FGFR1 gene and associated counseling.
What sample is required for this test?
The sample can be blood (EDTA tube), extracted DNA, or one drop of blood on an FTA card.
Is fasting required before the test?
No, fasting is not required for this genetic test.
How long does it take to get the results?
The turnaround time is 3 to 4 weeks.
Is home sample collection available?
Yes, we offer free home sample collection for online bookings across India.
What does the NGS test detect?
It detects mutations in the FGFR1 gene that are associated with Kallmann Syndrome Type 2.
Can this test be done for children?
Yes, this test is suitable for pediatric patients, especially those with delayed puberty or anosmia.
What is the role of genetic counseling?
Genetic counseling helps interpret the results, discuss inheritance patterns, and guide family planning decisions.
Are there any risks associated with the test?
The test is safe with minimal risks such as slight bruising at the blood draw site.
Will insurance cover this test?
Coverage depends on your insurance policy. We recommend checking with your provider.
What if the test result is negative?
A negative result does not rule out Kallmann syndrome, as other genes may be involved. Further testing may be recommended.
